I really like John Taylor's textbooks but I have to pretty much guess whether the smudge at the start of some words is a rough or a smooth breathing. It is not just 19th century reprints that have the problem of the two being hard to tell apart.

Thanks for seeding the project. Unsmoothed Homer is a delight to my eyes at least! But judging from the sluggish support, it seems my prophesied Ancient-Greek-Unsmoothed Spring will take longer than expected to get off the ground.

The smooth breathing mark is arguably the only reason for me to set my kindle in the landscape mode. I also have a PDF version of an excellent book discussing both Latin and Greek, and it again set me in problem as the PDF was scanned rather a bit not clearly so...imagine that The Latin part is almost clear since Latin practically only need a long vowel mark (but the practice to mark a short vowel in certain locations immediately ruins such practice and unfortunately the book follows).Indeed removing the mark impairs the beauty of Ancient Greek but practically it's the best solution. It's just another method to spell...Problem occurs especially when there are two marks above the same letter.
